Making the world a better place by brutally murdering anyone who’s slightly misbehaving, one at a time.
Here you go… Library of Congress collection. I like the one’s where his wife teaches him…
Uhh, did this mean something different back then?
Yes. I’m pretty sure he wasn’t implying homosexuality, but talking about general partying and gallivanting around, promiscuity, etc. I don’t think “gay” came to mostly mean homosexual until later in the 20th century. I believe Everett is just telling him he doesn’t want to hear him bragging about his immoral lifestyle or gossiping about someone else’s. There were a lot of prudes back then. That’s my take, anyways…
I like these, I just wish there was a joke beyond “Everett attacks shitty dudes”
There’s also a pun, since conflagration can also mean conflict.
